Last week, Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce President Vincenzo Trani urged Rome to consider lifting sanctions against Moscow, saying that they are harming Italy’s economy.On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the growth of the Russian economy over the past two years despite “rather difficult conditions.”He noted the country's economy has risen to fourth place globally by purchasing power parity (PPP) – an analysis metric that compares economic productivity and living standards between countries by adjusting for differences in the cost of goods and services – behind only China, the US, and India.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rt.com/news/618227-bild-sanctions-russia-dont-work/[/URL]</blockquote>
